Me: Hm, I wanna make a crochet doll of Rusty
          
          Me, three hours later, while crocheting this doll: *Writing fanfiction about the self care vampire app*

Rewriting the holiday dinner scene, and channeling all the awkward small talk you have with family you don't see often

I fear I should be concerned that an alien wants to have children with the island frog, but you know what Zippy, you go have a family with Frogger

I saw a poodle in a bag at the grocery store today, and that's my why today.

I swear, this summer, I'm gonna take a whole tote bag of books with me to the cottage, and I'm going to turn my data off, and read so much

You know, it's getting real tempting to start writing the fantasy movie that the two star in.
          It sure would explain a lot of later actions

I forgot to do this last year, but everyone wish Rusty a happy 24th birthday!

(Smoothie time, don’t worry, Charlie has one too)
          
          Glad I had to tell myself that both characters get smoothies.

You know what's funny?
          
          I have described Charlie as having facial hair, yet can't seem to consistently picture it

Okay, so, I think I've done something here.
          
          I made an example of how Rusty SHOULD be, i.e., confident, bold, to name a few. But it's all notably being shown to Charlie, so Charlie now is seeing what that looks like for Rusty, and see's that it happens when Rusty is having no stress.
          
          AND
          Rusty reverts back to his closed off self, where he's less confident in himself, when those stressors are back.
          
          THUS, giving a good reason for Charlie trying everything in his power to make the environment for the more confident, happy Rusty to come back.
